This was put together by Wachovia as a promo. Notice all the prominent ‘Wachovia’ branches featured amongst local landmarks. Very cool. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured the creator just sold slots on a first come-first serve basis to whichever businesses wanted to be a sponsor. WBT is also featured prominently.

The artist was Tom Dodds and there are references online about it being the “Wachovia” map. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another interesting thing about this map- the artist or illustrator made maps like this for individual cities in the region too. Growing up, I had one of Shelby. I’ve also seen one of Gastonia. I have no idea where mine is now, or how many were made for other towns. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard it'll be lit up the new company colors on Monday or Tuesday, so I guess building excitement? 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eightane 190 Report post Posted January 12 It nearly never gets said, but the Ratcliffe on the Green is one of my fave residential projects in uptown. Nothing else here looks like it, and the florist building facade save was inspired. Loving these pics! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you First Union Wachovia for developing this and this private park. Photo from last week. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Photo from last week. And Childress Klein for a great execution. The underground parking and historic preservation (sign, church etc) are top notch.

Can’t wait to see the impact that The Ellis will have on filling some of the Northern end gap. Not to mention the future Spirit Square development and the Intercontinental.

KJHburg 52418 Report post Posted January 16 I have a question about drones and photography especially uptown: what are the rules and can people really fly through the handle of Duke Energy Center and so close to other highrises? My friend has the license and so forth but what percentage of drone owners are licensed? I know we have some great drone people on here that abide by all the rules but are some of these drone tours really allowed like the one reference above? If I was the property manager I would not be too happy with a drone flying through the handle atop the DEC or right above the crown of BACC? I think drones are great for photography, insurance, disaster assessment and so many other areas but I get concerned sometimes when people bend the rules. 4 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
